PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 2 PureWave Quantum Base Station Overview 2.1 Introduction - What is a Compact Base Station? At PureWave, we believe that true broadband data networks must roll out in a completely different manner than the traditional, low-throughput cellular networks of yesterday. The traditional cellular network paradigm of colossal “macro” Base stations and large cell radii developed from the need for high-coverage networks to carry low-bandwidth voice and messaging traffic.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 2.2 PureWave Quantum at a Glance The PureWave Quantum Family of Compact Mobile WiMAX Base Stations is PureWave’s 3rd generation Base station platform and we believe it presents what is simply the most advanced and high-performing, yet cost-effective Base station solution available. The PureWave Quantum Family of Base stations currently consists of the 2x4 (2 Transmit, 4 Receive) Quantum 1000, the 3 x 2 x 2 Quantum 2200 and the PureWave Quantum 6600 (6x6) products.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 PureWave Quantum Base Stations can be installed indoors or outdoors, however the antennas must always be installed outdoors. Figure 1 shows a PureWave Quantum 6600 Base station co-located on a tower with a PureWave 6-Port Antenna Panel.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 2.3 A Closer Look The PureWave Quantum 6600 Base Station is a single, weather-resistant enclosure with overall dimensions 17.5” x 16.7” x 5.3” (44cm x 42cm x 13cm). The Base station is a single self-contained unit. Note that the PureWave Quantum 6600 Base Station has no user-serviceable components. PureWave Quantum products employ a sophisticated and flexible hardware architecture that combines general purpose processors, and application-specific hardware.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Note that Installation and weatherproofing must be completed by a professional installer. Please refer to the PureWave Quantum 6000 Base Station Installation Guide for detailed instructions. The function of each Base station connector/port is described in Table 1. Note that every connector present must be terminated to ensure proper Base station operation. Please refer to the PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide for comprehensive installation procedures.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 The Base Station’s three high-intensity LEDs are intended to be viewable from the ground for quick confirmation of the unit’s operational state.

PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 2.3.2 Radio and Physical Layer Specifications The PureWave Quantum Family of Base Stations is available in several models to support a variety of frequency bands and the regulatory requirements of a number of countries. Because several deployment-specific variables (e.g.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 2.3.2.1 Receiver Sensitivity Table 4 presents typical receiver sensitivity specs of the Quantum 6600 Base Station. Note that sensitivity will be correspondingly less on models with fewer than 6 antennas. Note that the values presented are measured over the entire channel bandwidth, as opposed to WiMAX Radio Conformance Test (RCT) type measurements, which are measured over only a fraction of the channel bandwidth.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Note that some regulations refer to peak power, which in a WiMAX system is normally as much as 10dB higher than average power. In the case of the PureWave Quantum products the peak power can be assumed to be 9dB higher than average. Therefore, Peak EIRP should be computed as follows: Peak EIRP per Ant (in dBm) = Ave EIRP per Ant + 9dB. Total Peak EIRP (in dBm) = Total Ave EIRP + 9dB.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 2.3.2.3 Smart Antenna Capabilities Beamforming is a technique that combines and focuses signals to and from multiple antennas to improve both downlink and uplink performance. On the uplink, the Base Station combines signals received on its multiple antennas, resulting in substantial link budget gains that improve range and throughput.
